Married my high school sweetheart in March of 2020. Together we have 1 dog, & a baby girl born in June 22'. My husband's active duty Navy, currently stationed out of Norfolk, VA. I grew up with a open heart and mind for those with special needs as my sister has autism. I received two years of hands-on experience in a Sped classroom during HS, and I worked as a Sped Para-Professional Educator at Elementary for the 2019 -20 school year. I have experience working with children with a wide range of disabilities such as; Autism, Down syndrome, Angelman's Syndrome, Sanfilippo Syndrome, CP, CVI, ADHD, & ODD. I am comfortable with and trained on feeding (oral or tube), bathing, changing, transferring, and meds if needed. I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19!

    Samantha is the BEST babysitter ever! She worked with our family for 6 months. I have two special needs children that require a lot of care. Samantha went above and beyond as a babysitter. She was always smiling, had a positive attitude, flexible with schedules, patient, and willing to care for the boys as I need. There are a lot of routines for my children, and Samantha was about to help with everything. She was quick to learn and always made my boys happy. She was extremely patient and always willing to help. Samantha was so pleasant to work with and my boys loved having her as a babysitter. I was really sad she had to move away....we all miss her!
